1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,760
it's a viriI film,
and who looks like me.
2
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,160
BONUS: BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE FILM
3
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,400
The Romans
came to China.
4
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,440
It's a captivating story.
5
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,320
I particularly like to shoot
historical films,
6
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,760
and I have always been interested
by this story.
7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,440
Epic, romantic, intelligent,
8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,840
very well written, historical.
9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,480
A sort of opera.
10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,920
It was very touching, very moving.
11
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,080
When I read the script,
I thought "wow"...
12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,400
It's really
a fantastic, incredible film.
13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,000
It's going to be...
People will love it.
14
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,760
In fact, as the filming progressed,
15
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,360
The bigger it got.
16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,440
We started on a small project,
17
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,760
and it became really... giant!
18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,600
A LEGEND REMAINED SECRET
FOR 2 üüü YEARS
19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,240
We have Iu and seen
20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,040
approximately
everything that could concern
21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,200
the story of the arrival
Romans in China.
22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,520
In particular, I was able to see remains
23
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,720
in remote areas
of the North-West.
24
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,160
Their appearance
and their architectural style
25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,920
really evoke
Roman civilization.
26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,640
I was also able to see
27
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,560
that many residents
of these regions
28
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,480
don't look like the Han at all.
29
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,920
From a genetic point of view,
They would be close to the Romans.
30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,920
We were inspired by information
31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,280
found on websites
or in books,
32
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,200
and we modified them a little.
33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,800
The gist of the story unfolds
34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,120
in remote areas
from western China.
35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,360
It is a very vast territory.
36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:03,000
In fact, the film unfolds a lot
in large spaces.
37
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,000
We did not only look for
to base ourselves on history,
38
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,000
to obtain an effect of truth.
39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,760
What we wanted to do,
40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,440
it's immersing the public
41
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,000
in an atmosphere
specific to this era.
42
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,960
But it didn't have to be
too far from the historical truth.
43
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,040
We were just inspired by it
for the decorations.
44
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,440
Finally,
45
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:28,720
we made sure
to create our own world.
46
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:32,880
During the creation process,
He set his own style.
47
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,920
He sought to create
a western style,
48
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,080
but leaving
from his Oriental point of view.
49
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,440
It was chaos:
36 kingdoms coexisted.
50
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,400
A whole bunch of people were coming and going
on the Silk Road.
51
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,840
It is not surprising that the luggage
genetics of indigenous people
52
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:58,840
is so diversified.
53
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,040
But what interested me most
as a screenwriter,
54
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,440
by writing the screenplay
by Dragon Blade,
55
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,360
is to imagine what could have meant
The fact that the Romans
56
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,080
could have really come
to China.
57
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:17,360
One of the particularities of this film,
58
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,960
it shows the meeting
Chinese and Roman soldiers.
59
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,360
This is happening in a stronghold,
60
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,880
where everyone belongs
to different peoples,
61
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,800
speak different languages.
62
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,560
This question of the Languages
has been a problem.
63
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,280
What language were they talking about?
64
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,640
We did a lot of research,
we thought a lot
65
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,120
what people could talk about
all these peoples, 2,000 years ago.
66
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,080
In white, they are the Rong.
67
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,280
Their leaders call them Alisijiang.
68
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,240
Yes, it is.
69
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,360
In this film, I play the adopted son
by general Huo Qubing.
70
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,560
Neither the Han nor the Huns
don't accept me.
71
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,160
He leads a brigade
peacekeeping
72
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,480
in a border region.
73
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,680
He must keep the peace
on the Silk Road
74
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,080
between the different peoples
who live in Iå.
75
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,840
Huo An doesn't like war.
76
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,320
He lives in difficult times.
77
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,360
There was then
78
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,600
36 different peoples
79
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,680
who clashed on this territory,
80
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,600
and almost all were nomads.
81
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,200
He speaks several languages.
82
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,320
Otherwise, how could he
spread your idea of peace?
83
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,320
There were a lot of languages.
84
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,280
Stop fighting!
85
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,440
I am Lucius, Commander-in-Chief
of the Roman Legion of the Black Eagle.
86
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:34,920
Huo An...
87
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,560
commander.
88
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,520
It's possible,
to avoid fighting?
89
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,640
Ireturn with mine.
You are leaving.
90
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:43,280
I play the role of Lucius,
91
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,160
the commander in chief
from the Roman region of Black Eagle,
92
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,040
who is under the orders of Crassus.
93
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,120
My mission is to protect
94
00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,320
a young boy,
who is the heir to the throne,
95
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,440
One of the three thrones
of the Roman Empire at the time.
96
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,200
John Cusack is a very good actor.
97
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:08,600
He proposed ideas.
98
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,400
John Cusack has a lot of charm,
He has a very romantic physique.
99
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,720
His character
will be dragged into a tragedy.
100
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,880
He falls in love
of the emperor's wife,
101
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,560
so much so that he finds himself invaded
by guilt.
102
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,440
And while the kingdom
is going through a period of trouble,
103
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,000
He becomes tutor to a prince.
He teaches him the art of the sword
104
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,120
and ends up considering it
like his son.
105
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,400
By striving to protect
106
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,040
the young heir to the Roman Empire
å following a competition,
107
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,120
He finds himself
in the position of an outlaw.
108
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,120
As we meet again...
It's so good to see you again
109
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,760
the best warrior of the Empire.
110
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,400
I play the role of Tiberius,
111
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,760
a truly evil sovereign,
112
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,280
without any pity.
113
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,880
I really like this role,
114
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,920
I am used to the characters
who express their emotions.
115
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,320
We cannot anticipate
what he's going to do.
116
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,360
That's what scares the most.
117
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,840
I thought of Adrien Brody
for this role
118
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,360
precisely for its capacity
to be unpredictable.
119
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,360
This character
is extremely worrying.
120
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,280
He is terribly alone,
He has no friends.
121
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,040
He seeks to dominate others
to feel less alone.
122
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,480
It's fun, it's something
again for me.
123
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,240
He won an Oscar for best actor.
124
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,400
It's really very moving
to be able to work with him.
125
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,040
I play the role of Publius,
a young Roman prince.
126
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,720
He is a very wise child,
very nice.
127
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,120
He wants to kill me
so that I don't become king.
128
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,200
So I told him
''okay, I'll let you be king'',
129
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,120
so he doesn't kill me.
130
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,840
If I didn't tell him that,
He would kill me right away.
131
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,680
I find that what there is
more beautiful in my role,
132
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:08,760
it’s the character’s change of heart.
133
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,640
From the moment
where I hide something,
134
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,600
I must lie
to those around me.
135
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,760
I hide the truth deep inside me.
136
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:23,760
It's difficult.
137
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,760
I’m progressing in Chinese!
138
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,840
She is an impressive woman,
who has a lot of composure.
139
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,560
She knows how to fight,
she has a very frank look,
140
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,200
maybe because she
doesn't think much.
141
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,120
EIIe is also quite wild.
142
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,240
Xiuqing is the kind of woman
143
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,760
that we always find
144
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,400
in the shadows
men who have succeeded.
145
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,160
Xiuqing is Huo An's wife.
146
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,240
They are looking for peace.
147
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,640
This is their common goal.
It is also their common language.
148
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,120
And this reinforces
Their feelings for each other.
149
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:01,000
I'm the chef here.
150
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,320
We call him the Commander
by Wild Goose.
151
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,880
Are you Huo An?
152
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,720
We mfa says
that you know how to use a sword.
153
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,440
He pretends to be
for what he is not.
154
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,400
He has the impression
to be very courageous,
155
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,400
He thinks he's going to save the town.
156
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,840
But when he finds himself in combat,
157
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,080
He panics and loses all his composure.
158
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,520
He's a two-eyed hero.
159
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,520
My character, nicknamed “Ie Rat”,
is a garrison doctor.
160
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,160
Every time he does
something, he does it badly.
161
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,240
He thinks he has a vision
very just things,
162
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,080
but he is wrong
å almost every time.
163
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,160
How so!
164
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,360
Huo An,
165
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,400
They're not worth it.
166
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,200
Let's leave here.
167
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,960
They need me now
more than ever.
168
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:53,520
Dragon Blade is very chivalrous.
169
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,360
The characters
They give them this chivalrous side,
170
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:57,720
this epic side.
171
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:58,920
I was asked one day
172
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,760
what was it for me
the definition of the knight.
173
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,120
For me, a knight,
174
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,920
a chivalrous attitude,
it's having certain values...
175
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,280
and perform actions
who seem doomed to failure,
176
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,960
to the point
to put his life on the line.
177
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,520
VALUES
like fraternity, justice.
178
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,840
It's forgetting yourself
for the cause.
179
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,880
It's by doing what we have to do,
180
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,440
by sticking to it,
181
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,200
by taking responsibility
as a human being,
182
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,840
that we become a hero,
like Huo An.
183
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,680
The chivalry is becoming rare.
184
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,600
There aren't many people anymore,
plus many actors
185
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:38,800
who have this sense of values.
186
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,520
I'm trying to capture
what the actors have best,
187
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:45,640
and to use their qualities
in my films.
188
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,960
What is the greatest quality?
by Jackie Chan?
189
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,560
It's not his acting
nor his kung fu.
190
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,840
We can see all this
in all his films.
191
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,480
I hope I managed to capture
Something deeper.
192
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:01,840
Even if in certain scenes,
He doesn't talk much,
193
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,600
He manifests his faith at all times
in certain human values.
194
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,760
What matters to me,
these are not only
195
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:09,920
his acting qualities.
196
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,440
I'm looking for something
more people,
197
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,840
in relation to what it represents
in terms of values.
198
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,440
Real emotions...
199
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,240
It can't be improvised.
200
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,800
"Wait a little,
I'm looking for the right emotion."
201
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,680
The real emotions,
we already have them in ourselves.
202
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,440
Is it for the money?
203
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:30,920
No, really not.
204
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,480
It's because I want
shoot films
205
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,240
and achieve
a personal accomplishment.
206
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,680
Through my films,
207
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,560
I can show how much war
is a terrible thing,
208
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,640
how much to protect
the environment is important.
209
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,240
All over the world, we must
show tolerance.
210
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,040
Through my films...
211
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:59,000
in an hour and a half, two hours,
I can get my message across.
212
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,520
I've admired Jackie for a long time.
213
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,880
For what he is,
and of course also for his work.
214
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,640
I mean, it's not just
a talented actor,
215
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:12,600
very well known,
216
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,800
this is one of the people
the most generous,
217
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,560
the most benevolent
that I have ever met.
218
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,480
He is really
219
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,280
an ambassador of goodwill,
all over the world.
220
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,680
But we see it even more here.
221
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,680
For me, it's that one
who has a lot of power.
222
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,920
But a power of the heart.
That's how I perceive it.
223
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,200
If an actor does not have this image,
this credibility,
224
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,120
when he's going to take
a chivalrous attitude,
225
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,880
we won't be able to believe it,
226
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,680
and then we will not have
a good chivalrous film.
227
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,240
I'm always looking to connect
å the personal life of the actor.
228
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,240
I don't tell the actor
what he must do.
229
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,440
I am looking to integrate
something about his image
230
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,520
which will resonate with
what the public feels for them.
231
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:06,200
I helped myself
of what Jackie Chan represents.
232
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,920
That was my goal.
233
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,840
Every day you have to...
234
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,280
that I make myself
A few little injuries.
235
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:26,560
Otherwise, I have the impression
236
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,480
for not having really given
my maximum.
237
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,280
Why could the Romans
rebuild the city in 15 days?
238
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,040
Not because of their numbers.
239
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,640
In all,
They are barely half a legionnaire.
240
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,400
Mount stone blocks
at the top of the walls is very difficult.
241
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,920
One, two, three, here we go!
Here we go!
242
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:00,760
The only way is to hoist them up.
243
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,480
I thought they might have
use a machine,
244
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,480
like a medieval-looking crane,
which allowed the stones to be hoisted
245
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:10,280
directly at the top of the walls.
246
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,200
MACHINES 7 METERS HIGH
247
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,760
REQUIRING 2ü MEN
TO MOVE THEM
248
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,480
EQUIPPED WITH 12 TOOTHED WHEELS
ALL SIZES
249
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:21,040
So, so that all this
is likely,
250
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,240
He made us cranes: OK.
251
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,880
What did they look like?
We did some research.
252
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,080
I wanted Roman cranes
quite simple,
253
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,600
cranes from this period.
254
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,920
But a movie remains a movie.
255
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,160
If we reproduce identically,
it's banal.
256
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,520
Push gently.
257
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:38,360
This way.
258
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:40,640
There are things,
259
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,400
if we don't do it,
The public will not be informed.
260
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:47,360
However, if you do,
He will appreciate it.
261
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,000
You have to give
as many things to see as possible.
262
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,400
I think in particular
that accessories are important.
263
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,320
Each accessory
which is shown in the movie
264
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,200
is for us the opportunity
to show the public
265
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,960
our creativity.
266
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,000
I like this creative phase.
267
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,120
There are many
that I can't say how much.
268
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,480
Take a look at the warehouse
accessories are scary!
269
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,840
MORE THAN 1üü üüü ACCESSORIES
270
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,440
Warehouses
accessories and costumes
271
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,840
are located next to the Ioges
and meeting rooms.
272
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,520
I myself started
to make armor, quite simple.
273
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,520
But after finishing
Roman armor,
274
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,400
I told the team: “It’s not okay.”
275
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,120
If we put on Roman armor
and Chinese side by side,
276
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,560
Roman armor
appear much prettier
277
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,080
because they were
more work, more decorated.
278
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,080
Chinese armor didn't fit.
And we started all over again.
279
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,760
We do as he says.
He is a very great artist,
280
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:02,080
a recognized artist.
281
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,080
DanieI Lee breathed
novelty.
282
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,680
He's seen a lot of my films
and he reIooked my character.
283
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,040
In my other films,
284
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,880
it was me who ensured
the artistic direction.
285
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,480
They're a bit alike.
I have the same cut.
286
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,200
I trusted Him.
287
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,920
And then he comes
from a community of artists.
288
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,720
He does magnificent things.
I gave him a white card.
289
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,480
Helmets, breastplates,
shoulder protectors
290
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,040
all bear a pattern in the form
of vaults with, in the center,
291
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,960
The Chinese word for "cirrus".
292
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,400
I find that the clouds
have very beautiful shapes,
293
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:39,880
very harmonious.
294
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,400
I find them very beautiful.
295
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,560
I like their very slow movements,
They look a little romantic.
296
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,680
This is why
that I used this pattern.
297
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,840
If I can't move,
I'm going to die.
298
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,760
Armor like that,
in metal, it is very heavy.
299
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,960
Also imagine a big shield.
300
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,480
Steering a horse while handling it,
it would have been too difficult.
301
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,200
Hang it on yourself,
That didn't work either.
302
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,560
This little shield, we can
use it like a dagger.
303
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,440
You can ward off blows with it.
304
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,360
I wanted you
let everyone have one.
305
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,560
A peacekeeping brigade
intervenes in the battles.
306
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,840
A big shield
would be too cumbersome.
307
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,760
It was me who designed
this little shield.
308
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,480
I told Danie about it
and he made it happen.
309
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:29,760
It's very well thought out.
310
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,360
Huo An is very mobile,
He likes to move quickly.
311
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,600
II It requires a minimum of accessories.
312
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,640
He doesn't like to fight,
313
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,000
but must intervene
in fights.
314
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,760
It's like the police,
which is equipped with shields.
315
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,560
He needed at least a shield.
316
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,320
He knows a little about martial arts.
He does kickboxing.
317
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,400
But he didn't really know
wield the sword,
318
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,400
so I showed him
A few movements.
319
00:17:04,360 --> 00:17:05,480
- Look!
- A storm!
320
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,840
1 12 DAYS OF FILMING
IN THE DESERT
321
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,040
And here comes a sandstorm,
like that, suddenly!
322
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,360
You find yourself covered in sand
in a few seconds.
323
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,360
We must quickly cover our heads,
otherwise we have a lot of hair.
324
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:35,280
It hurts the eyes very much.
325
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,000
During the fighting,
We must open our eyes,
326
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,040
and with each movement,
we make the sand fly.
327
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,440
This swirling sand,
It’s really very bad.
328
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,720
I don't understand
how horses do
329
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,000
to keep my eyes open
under these conditions.
330
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,840
The conditions were difficult,
but I think
331
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,680
what it brought
a particular energy
332
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,160
who united the team.
333
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:00,240
It was quite difficult
every day.
334
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,880
It was really very hot.
335
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,760
Ground temperature
was around 5üoC.
336
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,680
The cameras are mounted at 7°C.
337
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,800
At certain times, the machines
even broke down.
338
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:12,840
The temperature
339
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,560
Was really too high.
340
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,240
In summary,
Dragon Blade is halfway there
341
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,120
between the historical film
and legendary history.
342
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,280
This is the first film of this kind
343
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,600
to be so successful.
344
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,520
With in addition,
something else behind all that.
345
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,160
You are training to kill.
We are focused on saving lives.
346
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:40,160
Peace is a dream.
347
00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:44,200
Today we see
many films including history,
348
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,960
philosophy or messages
to the attention of the public
349
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,160
are also the ones I wish
address the public, the world.
350
00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:55,560
We wanted to send you
something we believe in:
351
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,000
preserve peace
and live together.
352
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,080
Why is there war?
Without war, no heroes.
353
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,960
Huo An seeks to maintain peace.
354
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:06,360
He would like the 36 peoples
live in harmony.
355
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,080
Without war, no heroes.
356
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,240
The war for peace:
no peace without war.
357
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,080
It's strange, and it causes death
countless people.
358
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,040
There are epic fight scenes
359
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,800
that I had always dreamed of shooting
360
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,400
with someone like Jackie.
361
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,360
He's really a genius
in this area,
362
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,400
and it was fantastic
363
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,280
to work with him
and learn from Him.
364
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,040
I think this movie
has very good potential
365
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,720
to walk internationally.
366
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,880
I am very happy
to be able to play in this film.
367
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,480
Touring with Jackie Chan,
368
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,520
come and work in China
in a Chinese film,
369
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,520
as an American,
be the first to do this,
370
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:51,880
it's really genius.
371
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,920
The era in which it takes place
The film was truly grandiose,
372
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,440
we have the feeling
that there was a lot of ardor,
373
00:19:58,640 --> 00:19:59,600
a lot of excitement.
374
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,040
This experience was enriching
for everyone.
375
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,920
If you are curious,
don't hesitate to go see this film.
376
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:12,560
I think that when peoples
are led to frequent each other,
377
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,960
There is only one way
to resolve conflicts:
378
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:19,000
learn to live together.
379
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,080
These four words
could summarize the film.
380
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,040
